Sou’wester Lodge and Vintage Travel Trailer Resort, Seaview, WA

Step out of your car at the Sou’wester and you’ll immediately feel the old-school beach vibe that flows through this place like an ocean breeze. A fleet of silvery vintage travel trailers are lined up in a cute row as if they’re posing for Instagram (and only a retro filter will do). Some are small and rustic (like the darling Airstream that resembles a potato bug but lacks a shower) while others are palatial (the Spartan Mansion has a full kitchen, bathroom, living room, and even a second bedroom). All 10  are fully restored throughout, clean as a whistle, and thoughtfully decorated with funky touches like hand-crocheted throws and working turntables alongside a selection of vinyl records. The three-story main lodge, flanked by shore pines, greets you with a huge, welcoming front porch and cozy wood-paneled parlor. Rolling dunes and the Pacific Ocean are a five-minute walk away.
